The Seattle Seahawks signed former Oregon wide receiver Marcus Maxwell, the team announced today.

Maxwell spent last season with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football league after being released by Tampa Bay. Maxwell was a seventh round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2005 and played in four games with the 49ers that season before playing in NFL Europa in 2006.

Maxwell signed by Cincinnati in 2007 and appeared in five games making one reception for five yards.

In 2008, he was placed on injured reserve by Baltimore.

To make room for Maxwell, the Seahawks released quarterback Mike Reilly.
